Generally a Schnauzer’s ear cropping stitches can be removed in 5 to 7 days, depending on the dog’s healing speed. Some heal slowly and may need two weeks or more.
Suture material varies; absorbable ones need no removal and fall off on their own, while non-absorbable ones must be removed in time. The wound after removal generally heals in about a week.
